Great getaway

The cabin worked great for our large family. It's nicely located to give the option to go to either the West or East entrances of Glacier. I was looking forward to visiting both sides of Glacier but my kids had the most fun playing in the creek on the property and exploring the tunnel. The dogs were very friendly and our kids had fun exploring with them and playing catch with them. There was room at the table for everyone and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals there. The covered deck was a great place to relax at any time of the day because it always provided shade. All the beds were in the basement with a queen size bed in a separate room. It was cool and dark down there and the beds were very comfortable so we all slept well. The cabin is on a working ranch and the owners live on the property as well. They go about their business but are more than willing to talk and we enjoyed our talks with Capri. We enjoyed our time there and our kids asked if we could buy the cabin or at least come back and let them play in the creek soon.

Perfect location with charm

Loved the location for visiting Glacier Park. It was beautiful and fun with the horses all around and our youngest cried when she had to say goodbye to Rosie. Such a unique stay and we couldn’t be happier.

Wonderful stay at a family friendly horse ranch.

We chose this location to have equal access to West and East Glacier NP, and it was the perfect choice. The cabin we stayed in was plenty big for 7 of us, the 100 acre ranch surrounded by mountains and a fishable creek was a great home base while we enjoyed the national park. Campfires at night, starry skies and the enjoyment of the horse activities created a fabulous environment to relax and enjoy nature. Thanks Shawn, Capri and crew!

Glacier Get Away!

Montana at its best! Anything you want to experience is available at this property from hiking on a plethora of trails to quiet time by the creek throwing rocks and wading in the water. Our three families came together for a fantastic week. We did a family hike to Stanton Lake starting on a nearby trailhead off of highway 2. Even the 3 year olds did the hike on the way up but preferred the backpacks on the way back. The trail is quite steep. Had the breathtaking lake to ourselves once we arrived. Saw river rafting excursions along the highway on the Flathead River but decided to save that for another trip. Made use of both entrances to Glacier Park from this convenient location. The cabin worked well for the 10 of us plus baby. Capri had extra leaves in the table for us that we could all fit around. Even the one bathroom situation was pleasantly workable. The bunkhouse provided sleeping quarters for 3 of the guys and the beds on the lower level were cool and comfy. We made good use of the large railed porch and enjoyed the beautiful views, breezes and humming bird visitors throughout the day. Our little boys LOVED the trains that travelled in the distance along the ridge and provided entertainment. A special highlight for the girls was the beautiful trail ride led by Shawn. All in all we couldn’t have asked for more and have memories saved in amazing photos including those of mountain sheep and goats, deer and even a bear! Thanks Capri and Shawn for everything!

Glacier National Park Home Base

We stayed at Shawn and Capri's property for our visit to Glacier National Park. This is a great location if you want to bounce between east and west entrances. We visited the east side only and the drives were reasonable. The property is great, stunning views all around and being an active horse ranch/outfitter added to the authenticity. They had everything we needed in the house for cooking our own meals. Beds were comfy and clean. Bathroom was fine. This was a perfect size for our family of four. The pups on the property are great. They like to come and visit and see what's going on. We loved it. If you're looking for something a little off the beaten path with a great setting, this is the place. We'd stay with them again no questions asked. Thanks!
